Aramaic Lord's Prayer with audio.

The Lord's prayer in Galilean Aramaic,the native language of Jesus Christ himself does not exist as in an original form.There are, though, linguistic reconstructions of it since Galilean Aramaic remains to this day a very scarsely attested language.

What it does exist is its version from Syriac Christianity and in various other Aramaic dialects from later times. This version is a translation from Koine Greek.

Πάτερ ἡμῶν ὁ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς,

Pater hemon ho en tois uranois

Our Father ,Who art in heaven,

ἁγιασθήτω τὸ ὄνομά σου.

Aghiasthēto 

Hallowed be Thy Name.

Ἐλθέτω ἡ βασιλεία σου.

Eltheto he vasileia su.

Thy Kingdom come.

...

Some branches of the Eastern Church still use in their liturgy the Syriac language,which is very close to the Aramaic spoken by Jesus."Our Lord's Prayer'" in Syriac it exists in several versions.I have put some of them up here for you to listen.The prayer in Syriac is called Abwoon D' Bashmayo.

Galilean Aramaic-the language of Jesus Christ is an obscure language.What we know of it is very little.The Galilean version of the prayer is not attested.There are only reconstructions of it most of them with many flaws due to the scarceness of texts in Galilean.Below there is a more scientific reconstruction of the beginning of the prayer in Galilean Aramaic from this site.

Abba, 
Father,

Yəṯqadaš šəmaḵ.
May thy name be holy.

Teṯe malḵuṯaḵ.
May thy kingdom come.

Here is another reconstruction of the Lord's prayer in Galilean Aramaic.


The Lord's Prayer (Matthew 6:9-13) -

אבנן דבשמייא׃ יתקדש שמך׃ תאתה מלכותך׃ תהווה רעותך׃ בארעה כנל דבשמייא׃ פיתן דצורך הב לן יומדן׃ ושבוק לן חובנן׃ הך אנן שבקין וחיבנן׃ ולה תעל לן לנסיון׃ ברם פצי לן מן בישה׃ אמין׃

/ʔabənan dəvəšᵘmaya. Yəṯqadaš šəmaḵ. Teṯeh malḵuṯaḵ. Tehəwe raˁuṯaḵ, bəarˁah kənal dəvəšᵘmaya. Pitṯan də-ṣoraḵ, hav lan yoməden. Wa-švuq lan ḥovenan. Heḵ ʔənan šəvaqin lə-ḥaivenan. Wə-lah taˁel lan lə-nisyon. Bəram pəṣi lan men bišah, ʔamên/

Baban deele beshmaya,

La mab-yeretan bjoraba,
ella mkhalislan min beesha,
bsabab deokh ela malkotha,
hela wtesh-bohta, laalam almeen,
AMEN.

Controversy

---

There is some controversy as to what language the original Lord's Prayer was written in. Mainstream scholars maintain that it was written in Koine Greek and this is due to the fact that many Jews and especially Galileans of the time in the Middle East were bilingual in Aramaic and Greek.

Greek at the time was a major language of prestige, commerce,common people in vast areas in the Eastern Mediterranean. It was one of the two major languages of the Roman Empire the other being Latin.
And this why Galilean Aramaic has Greek-like traits like no guttural or ejected sounds  unlike Eastern Aramaic dialects and many Greek loanwords . More on this read Was Jesus a Hellenized Jew?
Various claim have being made to 'prove' that the Peshitta version was the original prayer or that there was an original Aramaic prayer translated into Greek.
The Peshitta translation in Syriac Aramaic came much later and there is no scientific evidence that shows that there was an Aramaic original prayer. Nevertheless Aramaic texts may have been used as a resource.
